Ah Dan, but that's just what they WANT you to think. They know that you know that they are lying bastards. So,if they know that if you know that they are lying bastards they know that if you know they lie, if they tell the truth you'll think they're lying, and Saddam is dead. And if Saddam knows that they know that we know they are lying and want Saddam to think we think he's dead, then he is more likely to try to move and we can bag him. See? It's all part of the plan man. Get with the program.
Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line...oh, and don't get involved in a land war in Asia.
